We Aussies call them shallots, others call them green onions, or scallions, or spring onions, or onion shoots, or breath destroyers… a shallot by any other name would taste as sharp!
Yes, I’ve been too busy this week studying and dropping 40kg computer cases on my big toe to post here. Don’t ever do the latter, it’s not as fun as they advertise it to be. Considerably less fun. Actually it’s really not fun at all.
So to break this break as it were without taking too much time, here are some pictures of Hatsune Miku from the Vocaloid series holding a shallot. Or a green onion. Or a scallion. Or a… damn it!
Come to think of it, they all look more like leeks than shallots. DAMN it!
Scallions…love them. Altho people look at me funny when I tell them “don’t throw away the greeen part, that’s my favourite part”.
I thought for years that that was the part you are supposed to eat, not the white bit, and I still insist that it’s the best part of the scallion. A “green bits” sandwich on plain white bread with nothing else, and a glass of milk.
My favourite part is the belching that occurs several hours after you eat it.
The white part of the leek tastes the best when fried with meat.
but why are leeks and welsh onions so popular?
Oh and u can hit people with leeks, its very fun until they retaliate by hitting you with cucumbers
